The Harris Tweed Samples

My Harris Tweed samples arrived today! You have no idea how excited I was when I saw a package waiting for me in my mailbox that traveled all the way from the Isle of Harris, Scotland. FIrst thing I did after I opened it was to arrange my samples by color on my cutting table in the studio. Like a kid in a candy store, I could not contain my excitement. Sampling them one by one in my hand, I imagined what they could be transformed into. I matched two colors up to each other and thought of a two tone bag. Another one, in a beautiful shade of heathered blue, I imagined adorned with a bird on a branch sitting against a blue sky. After a while my sugar high was so intense that I had to step away. I did manage to make a selection for my next order. I chose some gorgeous blues along with some other spring-inspired shades. It was so hard to make a decision since I really want them all!

Oh yes I know what you mean LOL!!Getting hyper getting to open a fabric parcel! :)That must be sooooo hard to pick Elisa, I am sure you will do a terrific job, trust your intuition!Have a great week xx

Sooo beautiful! It would be tough to choose. The tweeds remind me of the scottish dancers my high school had. There were twelve dancers and each dancers costume was sewn of a different colored tweed imported from Scotland.Have fun!!!

Just added a couple of one-of-a-kind Harris Tweed patchwork bags to the Pesky Cat Designs shop. It will be the perfect bag to pair up with your favorite fall or winter coat and add a pop of color to your day. To create the flap I cut out squares of Harris Tweed wool and interface each piece. Then I play around arranging the different colors and patterns. That's the most fun part. When I am satisfied with the result I begin to sew them together. And that is how the patchwork flap evolves. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead. Enjoy!
